rich:fileUpload - URI too long

barbaraboie Jun 9, 2015 1:17 AM

Hello

I have a page with a few 'rich:editor's and a rich:fileUpload. If there is a lot of text in the textareas, files can't be loaded with the fileuploader: we get the error 'Server error: upload failed'. After some digging, we discovered that the real error is an Apache error: 'request failed: URI too long (longer than 8190)'. The rich:fileUpload is sending the whole content of the page, including all the text in the textareas, in the upload request. Is there a way to avoid this?

Regards

Barbara

(I'm using Richfaces 4.5.2.Final)

For now you can put the fileUpload to a separate form, but I'll take a look at it. Can you file a bug? (RichFaces - JBoss Issue Tracker)

Hello Michal
Thanks for your answer. I created a bug in the issue tracker: [RF-14063] rich:fileUpload - URI too long - JBoss Issue Tracker

About your workaround: I can't work with a separate form, because I have one big form with dynamic includes (textareas, inputtexts, checkboxes, dropdownboxes and also fileuploaders) in a specific order. The inputfields should be saved all at once.
